Hopefully the large margins will create more competition. My wish would be for open source projects that rely on infrastructure as code to allow people to deploy apps on their own with some type of cost plus charge. The more efficient your app, the bigger the plus part can be while staying price competitive.
It’s kind of possible already, but the massive profits in per user per month billing alongside feature tiers to maximize price discrimination means we’re stuck with the status quo for a while.
